BJ,

Apropos your system where you decrease your stake by 20% after every win, and increase by 20% after every loss:

Suppose you lose the 1st 2 spins, then win.

$10 = Loss
$12 = Loss
$14 = Win

You end up losing $8 (=10+12-14).

$14 = bets on Winners
$11 = bets on Losers (average)

So despite betting significantly more on your winners you lost!

This disproves your justification for your system.
